The Deloitte Global Board of Directors (Global Board) is responsible for key governance matters, including approval of the global strategy, annual budget and investment plan, global policies, major transactions, and the selection of the Deloitte Global CEO and Global Chair. The Global Board also provides oversight of, and support for, management’s operation and performance.
The Global Board includes representation from the majority of Deloitte firms and reflects the geographic reach of Deloitte’s operations. The Global Board has 17 members. Anna Marks, Chair of the Global Board, began her tenure on 1 June 2023. The elected term is for four years.
All Global Board members have full and active roles within their own member firms/geographies, with the exception of the Global Chair and Global CEO, both of which are full-time, committed roles and consequently do not retain any other active positions in the organisation. No Global Board members hold any significant positions or commitments in other commercial organisations.
The Global Board has several committees to support its oversight and governance role and, from time to time, leverages other structures – such as working groups – to provide oversight on specific, prevailing topics or strategic matters. The current active committees and working groups include the:
The Global Chair and Deputy Chair receive input from the Deloitte Global Independent Non-Executive (INE) Advisory Council. The group provides advice and insights on a variety of matters including emerging global trends, strategic priorities, technology, purpose, and talent. The Council also provides advice and insights on planning, public policy, quality, risk and regulatory matters, and broader stakeholder engagement.
The Global Chair and Global Board also regularly engage with the Deloitte Community of Chairs, a broad group of chairs representing almost all the geographies in which Deloitte operates. Through the Community of Chairs, there is good engagement and discussion between the Global Board and Deloitte leaders around the world across a range of strategic governance matters.
